PRODUCTION OF IMPORTANT MILITARY PRODUCTS
AT FARBEN'S LUDWIGSHAFEN-OPPAU PLANT 
 
1. Letter of Vermittlungsstelle W to the Reich War Ministry,

CONFIDENTIAL!

Urea plant

We have forwarded your inquiry concerning a stand-by plant for urea* to our competent office. However, we would like to say briefly now that we think it would be much more economical to stockpile the required amounts in the safety zone than to build an installation for only 5,000 tons of urea per year.

Since the urea factory at Oppau has been partly idle for a long time, the desired securing of the urea supply in case of emergency could be achieved in a far shorter time and at less cost to the national economy by stockpiling rather than by creating a suitable production site. 
 
Heil Hitler!
